Lager

You tend not to sweat the small stuff.

People have told you that you have an old soul— it’s almost like you’ve been here before. You like what you like and you have a clear picture of the path ahead. You appreciate craftsmanship and attention to detail and try to share this and try to help others around you in on life’s little secrets that you’ve picked up over your years. You value life’s simplest pleasures and tend not to sweat the small stuff. 

We Suggest Philadelphia’s light beer, Kenwood’s Original: American Style Light Lager.

Sour

You’re a leader, love new things, and others often look to you for guidance. 

You’re definitely not afraid to try new things— in fact, you often yearn for new experiences. You soak up knowledge and lessons from even the smallest experience. You are adventurous and often find yourself bored quickly when things get repetitive, but nevertheless, you always give 110%. You play hard but work harder, and you appreciate the small nuances of life’s everyday experiences. 

We Suggest: Evil Genius’ new Ermahgerd Skurtles— a lip puckering sour brewed with SKITTLES and finished with key lime and sweet cherry.

IPA

We get it. You like hops.

It’s your go-to. In general, you are passionate about things that you like. You like to kick back and enjoy the fruit of your looms. You have your go-to styles of everything. You are consistent, dependable. Measured, you think things through rather than just jumping into something.

Double or Triple IPA

Scroll back up to IPA and multiple by two or three.

Try Human Robot’s Lupulus Maelstrom Double IPA.

Pilsner

You’re not into the extra bells and whistles. 

You’re a straight shooter. You’re not interested in the extra bells and whistles when it comes to beer, food, and most other aspects of your everyday life. When you are assigned a task or have something to tick off your daily to-do list, you get it done— no questions asked. If you have somewhere to be, 9.5 times out 10, you’ll be there early. When you want to shake things up, you might go for wheat beer. 

Pick up a pack of Il Cielo by Human Robot— an Italian style pilsner that comes highly recommended from Christina Dowd, CEO of Philly Loves Beer. 

Stout or Porter

You should definitely head down to Varga Bar at 9th and Spruce and ask for the 2sp Baby Bob Stout. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll definitely meet some great people.

Pale Ale

You like what you like and aren’t always quick to try new things.

You like what you like, and we’re not mad at that! You have small rituals and a very specific way of doing things which lends itself to consistency and productivity. You almost always meet your deadlines and often find yourself with time to spare.
